Documented steps
POST https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/projects with headers Authorization: Bearer $NEON_API_KEY and Content-Type: application/json
Request body: {"project": {"name": "myproject"}} — name is optional and auto-generated if omitted
Response includes 'project', 'connection_uris', 'roles', 'databases', 'branch', 'endpoints', and 'operations' objects
Extract the ready-to-use URI from response.connection_uris[0].connection_uri — format postgresql://user:password@host/database?sslmode=require&channel_binding=require; individual components are in connection_uris[0].connection_parameters
Poll the returned operations (create_timeline, start_compute) until finished before issuing follow-up requests against the project
Known gotchas
An API key must exist first (Console: Account settings > API keys, or POST /api/v2/api_keys with an existing personal key); the key secret is shown only once
Connection strings include sslmode=require and channel_binding=require — clients must support both
Project creation returns operations still in 'running'/'scheduling'; the project may not be immediately usable — poll operation status first
Project IDs are permanent and cannot be changed; free plan limits how many projects you can create
